Comment: | The RCCM was founded in 1983 by a group of enthusiatic practitioners and researchers from both orthodox and complementary medicine. Today, their aim is to develop and extend the evidence base for complementary medicine in order to provide practitioners and their patients with information about the effectiveness of individual therapies and the treatment of specific conditions.
The Aims of the RCCM are:
1.DISSEMINATION of research findings - to collect, review and disseminate research-based information about complementary and alternative medicine(CAM) treatments and philosophies.
2.FACILITATION of appropriate research - to foster a network of researchers (CAMRN) and promote, undertake, commission and facilitate research into CAM treatments.
3. EXPLORATION of the relationship between CAM and Conventional Medicine - to contribute towards improved understanding and co-operation.
The RCCM does not recommend any specific treatment option and is not responsible for the choices made by individuals. Documents, overviews of research and reports are meant to be a starting point for further research and review work. Always consult your health professional about treatment options. |
